This article explains how to start playing a video at a particular time code.
To share a video link that should begin playback at a specific point:
- Add #t= to the end of the URL and then add the time code of where you'd like playback to begin.
- Here is an example where playback is queued up one minute and two seconds into the video.
To use this parameter for embedded videos:
- Add #t=(timestamp here) to the end of the player URL in your embed code.
Example:
<iframe src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/81400335#t=1m2s" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen></iframe>
If you'd like your video to autoplay from the specified timestamp while embedded:
- Add the ?autoplay=1 parameter before #t.
Example:
<iframe src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/81400335?autoplay=1#t=1m2s" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen></iframe>
Some browsers, like Chrome and Safari, may prevent autoplay. For detailed information, please refer to the article on Autoplay and loop embedded videos.
